FRENCH LEAVE.
MEJUMPsP FROM A MOVING TRAIN
NEAR GRAND JUNCTION
while Returning fer a New TRIAL
deputy Harry Geodye ar's
Cup of sorrow.

The wiles OF the confidence man are
past finding out. This was beautifully
pxemplifi I'D about dark last night, near
Grand Junction. Deputy Sheriff Good
year, in charge OF four prisoners, was
returning from Jackson, where they
had appeared before the Supreme
Court on All sppeal from the Shelby
Criminal Court. Among the nun ner
were John HaIdee and George Oar
ter, the confidence sharks arrested
by Office FAver some weeks age,
while III the act Of n e1ing verdant
country man. For the onsnss they
were arrested, tried and sentenced to
a term of ten years in the peniten-
tissy. The Supreme Court heard thair
case yesterday, reversed the
decision OF the lower court
aud remanded them back
for new trial. OF late Carter has
come the cripple dodge on his guards,
and with such success that he escaped
the ignominy Of shackles. When the
train on which the party were return
ing pulled out Of Grand Junction the
hypocrite hobbled on crutches to the
rear of the car, osl ensibly to get a
drink of water. Slyly opening the door,
he lesped from the moving train,
dropped the crutChes, gave his quarts
the laugh and fl ID like deer into the
woods. Deputy Goodyear bad the
train stopped as soon as possible,
which was not accomplished until it
had pulled into Lagrange, three miles
this side. From there he telegraphed
the fact o. Carriers escape to friends
at Grand Junction and sadly pro-
ceeded to this city with the remaining
prisoners. The escaped man was still
ut large at last accounts.

C.lITTENDEN'S CRIMES.
ANOTHER ADDITION To THE Al.
READY LONa LIST.
venting = Distasteful
Marriage.

Crittenden county, Ark, has bad
another addition TO its already long
list of crimes, the circumstances Of
which are strikingly cold blooded. On
Saturday evening last an old colored
man named Lawrence was brutality
murdered by snothtr negro, Emanuel
Arnold. Sheriff Werner organised q
posse as soon ss possible, and has
since continued the trail with q al and
industry. Owing TO the peculiar
character Of the country, 1t has proved
unsucC essiul, AMI the ell eriff came to
the city yesterday 10 secure the Tax
ing District bloodhounds. The par
ticulars, as CLEANED from him, are as
follows:
Arnold paid suit to LawTenoe's
daughter with vile intentions. The
old man guessed his object, and know.
ing Arnold to be a bad man forbade
hin tho house and company OF the
girl. Afer the manner OF lovers,
however, the young people met clan
destil ely. Tney we're surprised ON
Saturday by the girls father, wi o
again ordered the lover to cease his at
tentiops. Arnold retired, but did not
90 too far TO hear the girl COME 9 to
her father that she had been ruined.
The old mans reply was that the in
jury must be counteracted by we'd
ding. Arnold heard the decision and
concluded that a funeral would suit
him better Having 30 made up his
mind the seducer armed himself and
returned to Lawrence's house. He
confronted the outraged father and
announced his intention of killing
him. Lawrence picked up an axe to
defend himself with and was shot
down in his tracks, the ball entering
his right nipple. After the murder
Arnold a ID, carrying a pistol ball in
his leg as a memento from deputy
sheriff who tried to arrest him. He
has been seen several times, but
always managed to elude his pursuers.
He was shot sgsin Monday by col
ored man, who handled a shotgun
loaded with tquirrel shot, but was not
disabled.
Sheriff Werner left yesterday even
ing at 6 O'Clock with the hounds, and
is confident the fugitive will soon be
safely landed. In case OF success
another hanging will sooR follow, but
the exhibition will not be pub lc.
Under a new State law the disgusting
gala occasion has been abolished.

HOSTILE INDIANS
Fire upon James E'inney and Pur =
 sue Three Other.


 News received just as We go to press would indicate that reports that the hostiles are all confined upon the res- ervation are false and that on the contrary band, bent upon murder and depreciation, is still out.
 w. H. Black, who is well known hero and who lives on the Little Blue, fifteen miles west of Alma, \. M., brings news that on last Sunday a party of four, consisting of Henry Pinney, Ike Stevens, a man named Medear and another known as Ten nessee. started from Alma to visit the new silver strike. While on the way Pinney became sick and was com pelled to fall a considerable distance behind his companions. While thus riding alone he saw band or five Indians, who, on catching sight of him, opened fire. Six shots were discharged by the Indians and five by Pinney, when he turned and fled back to Alma, arriving there during the night. The next morning, in company with two others, Pinney started out to sec what had become of Stevens and his former companions. Striking the trail they followed it a certain distance, when they found where the party of three had turned and run at full sreed in direction toward Alma. This trail was fol- lowed by Pinney and companions till they became frightened and con- vinced of danger, when they camped and returned to Alma the next day, only to find that Stevens and party had not returned to that place. A larger posse was at once organized, and when MT. Black left was about to start ont in search of the missing men.
 While it does not necessarily fol- low that Stevens, Medear and Ten nessee have been killed, the above story, on very good authority, does prove that there are hostile Indians off the reservation, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding, and gives color to rumors of the same charac- ter which have been current for some time past

TERRITORIAL ITEMS.

Sheriff Fryer, who went up the river last week to arrest several Indian horse thieves, returned with out his prisoners. They had taken the friendly shelter of the reser- vation, whose sacred grounds are exempt from civil process. Mir. Fryer has all the necessary evi- dence to convict these red thieves by Indians who will testify against them, but 1t seems that once they return to the reservation they en- joy complete immunity from the penalty of their crimes. AIr. Fryer is now engaged in long cores pondence with the agent at San Carlos and the U. s. Attorney at Tucson, and it looks as though all the assistance to be obtained will be additional obstacles to the en- forcement of the law. In the mean time the depredations upon the settlers along the San Pedro and Gila are continued by the red devils.-Florence Enterprise.
 Don Carlos Velasco, editor of Fl Fronterizo, recently returned from a trip to Sonora and brings news of the recent drouth III that locality. He says that prior to the recent rain, however, cattle died in numbers beyond computation. In the neighborhood of Querobabi whole herds had perished. Thirst and famine had so reduced them that they laid down and died by hundreds in the recent storms. One ranchero, who year ago had 1900 horses and COWS, has now but forty, the rest having perished as stated Many of those that had a few hundred cattle have now not a single head, while others have, perhaps, two or three. Hides alone of the dead cattle were saved. Men who before the recent drouth were considered well-to-d do, are now penniless and obliged to seek labor to sustain life. Since the rain, however, the country is look ing finely, grass covering both mountain and plain,

The Beginning of the End.

The beginning of disease is slight debil- ity or disorder of some of the vital organs. the stomach the liver or the bowels usually There are dyspeptic symptoms, the liver is troublesome, the skin grows tawny and un- healthy looking. there are pains in the right side or through the right shoulder blade. The climax is often an utter prostration of the physical energies perhaps fatal issue. But if the difficulty is met in time with Hos fective as a remedy, and it should be resorted to at an early stage, there will be no reason to apprehend those injurious subsequent eff fects upon the system often entailed by en- tirely cured diseases. Far better is it. also, to employ this safe remedial agent in fever and ague, and other malarial complaints, than quinine and other potent drugs, which, even when they do prove effectual for q time, ruin the stomach and impair the general lcaIth.

According to the Enterprise they were telling snake stories down at Silver City recently, and among them was the following by a former resident of Clifton. This yarn took the prize, and after it was told an immediate adjourn ment was taken to the nearest sa- loon:
 That does very we'll" said Jake Abraham, the Bullard street ton sorial artist. Il, too, have had 6 little snake experience lately which is worth telling. You all know that 1 have been on the sick list for some weeks past, and have been under the doctors care. I have q little of nearly every kind of med icine. One I take before meals and one after, one just before re- tiring and one before getting up. The medicine that 1 took in bed was a sweet, sickening sort of fluid that l kept in a bowl Tn my bed room. It seemed to disappear very rapidly, and as 1 only took few swallows of 1t every morning, I was greatly surprised. As the weather was quite warm l supposed 1t was evaporating, so l got q big canteen. poured the liquor all into it, and hung it on the bed post. The next morning 1 prepared to take my usual nip but nary a drop came to moisten my lips, though the canteen appeared to be full. 1 was mystifed. l took the canteen down in the back yard and broke it open with an ax, and on, horrorsl there was a whopping big snake wedged in so tight that he couldn't get out He had drunk up all of my medi- cine, which swelled him ont so that he couldn't get his body through the bung-hole of the canteen. He lay there Iazily and winked one eye at me, as much as to say, I am stuck on that kind of stuff myself ; 1 think that snake had been using my medicine all the time. l pick led him in alcohol, and any one who doubts this story can step in to my establishment and see his snakeship for themselves"

A recent dispatch from Wash ington says that the army retiring board, of which Quartermaster General Holabird is president, has recommended the retirement of Captain J F. Simpson, Third Cav airy, who is now under treatment at the government hospital for the insane. Captain Simpson is the officer who created a scandal in Arizona few years ago by his conduct with the notorious wo- man. He was court martialed and sentenced to dismissal. Pres ident Arthur, however, disapproved the findings of the court and or dered the officers restoration to duty. He was ostracised by his brother officers and was subse- quently sent to the insane asylum for treatment. He will probably be released as soon as a vacancy occurs on the retired list.
 According to a dispatch from Florence to the Tucson papers, the report in Phenix papers that the United States has perpetually in joined the Florence canal from using water of the Gila river is not true Orders were sent from Wash ington to such effect based upon spiteful reports of Agent Wheeler, but satisfactory arrangements have been entered into by the agent of the Pimas and the canal company by which all present water rights of Indians will be protected, and they will doubtless be approved at " ashington.
 We published a couple of weeks ago report of the killing of Long Hair" and Jack of Dia- monds." The St. Johns Herald now says it is currently reported on the streets, and generally be- lieved, that the story of the kill ing was a canard, gotten up by the friends of these desperadoes, for some purpos not yet come to light. It may have been for the purpose of giving the two worthies a chance to rest a short time, as they have been kept on the move for some time past.

To guard against the result of accidents to the fumes the Arizona Copper Company have so arranged large water-pipes that the tanks above the concentrators can be kept filled by pumping from the river. By this means the concen- trators will not be compelled to shut down in case of the repetition of such a catastrophe as occurred last week.
